    God was certainly watching over you and your family! I would definitely call the police and have them investigate. This is a good wakeup call for all of us, we should all be aware of our surroundings. There have been a few instances like yours in our town as well, a few years ago. It is unsettling.

    How awful and stressful!!
    If that happened to me I'd be sure to tell ALL of my neighbors..so they could be on the lookout and they also will note and notice things and be on alert. I would tell all of the kids in my house- so that they wouldn't remain silent if they saw something out of the ordinary. I'd also consider having your daughter stay with her father for a few extra days or off schedule so that if someone *is* casing your family- your patterns will be inconsistent. In fact, I'm paranoid enough, that I'd start doing things at odd times and randomly just so that people watching wouldn't have an easy way to determine how my schedule flows.
    I hope you and your family are safe!

    Whoa. That's crazy to know they were still in the house after you went to sleep. Thankfully, nothing extremely bad happened, but the shock of knowing that fact can be an unfortunately traumatic experience. Definitely invest in a security system as soon as you can. It's very possible that they may come back if they know your home has no security. There is no price on the safety of your family. My home has been broken into many times and our security system alerted the police to come and investigate. How long it took them to arrive, we don't know, but each time it happened, there was no loss and minimal damage to the actual interior, except for the front door. We now have cameras that overlook the perimeter of our house too.

    You have my deepest sympathy. Glad your family is safe.

    So the police say they aren't coming because nothing was taken, well ok then. But they are going to put an extra officer on patrol near our house. We live WAY off the beaten path. Calling security guy right now. Thanks for the prayers everybody.♥

    Call ADT! Get an alarm system. They are worth every stinking penny for the system and 24 hour 360 monitoring.

    Check out what your kids posted on facebook, sometimes the most innocent thing said on there give people ideas. Maybe she made some remark about not being home and someone thought nobody would be home. We live in such a different world now. Take care, it is disturbing, hugs...

    That is frightening. I'm glad everyone is physically okay, but you must feel violated and terrified.

    Wow, I can't imagine how you must feel. I'd be scared senseless and probably wouldn't sleep until I had an alarm system installed. I hope the police can help and you can get some closure and peace. It's a miracle that no one was hurt, just thinking about it gives me chills. I hope and pray that your family remains safe. Be careful and stay safe.

    Omgosh that is sooooo scary. I can't even imagine how horrifying that would be. How did they get in? Was the door unlocked? I pray that they stay away from you & your family for good. I would definetely invest in a security system & I would also ask around and see if any neighbors have had a similiar experience recently. Good luck & I will keep your family in my prayers.

    Thanks everyone, no the police wouldn't come because we didn't actually see anyone, and no one got hurt, or stolen. Well thanks alot for that peace of mind! Oh well. And I talked to my daughter about what she posts on facebook she is scared tonight sleeping with her brother upstairs. I don't blame her. I feel alot better tonight about everything, been praying alot today. I know who this house serves, and it was His hand that kept us safe last night. Please continue to pray for our safety, and peace for our family. ♥

    Oh my, how frightening!! I am so glad no one was hurt. I can only imagine how violated you must feel. Time to beef up your security. Call the police and let them know what happened...next time you go to church, have them do some extra passes by your house. I don't want to scare you, but they might have been casing your house for some time. Please be careful. Best wishes.
